Tom Fitzpatrick
Tom Fitzpatrick joined a fur trapping expedition run by Andrew Henry an experienced trapper and trader. He would likely join looking for adventure and wealth. Fitzpatrick was born in 1799 in Ireland. He would travel to America and begin his fur trading journey in 1822. During a run along Missouri river him and his crew would be attacked and during the search for another path he would discover the south pass in Wyoming, in 1824. He would become part of the Rocky Mountain Fur company and would participate in the first Rocky Mountain Rendezvous, a meet up so that trappers could trade their furs for supplies. While traveling to the 1832 Rocky Mountain Rendezvous he rode ahead and ran into a war party for the Gros Ventre and nearly died multiple times. Later in his life he would become a negotiator.
